A collection of tutorial images and infographs made by various anons on /v/ and /twg/. Some are more coherent than others

File:Warhammer_gun_tutorial.png|Tutorial on how to use gunpowder units in the Total War Warhammer trilogy. Four different formations are covered, each of which is effective in different circumstances
File:Warhammer_skaven_tutorial.jpg|Some factions like Skaven or Cathay have ranged units that are too slow for regular chevrons, but deploying your troops behind the front lines and then baiting the enemy in with artillery works almost as well. In this specific example, R is Ratling Guns, J is Jezzails, and G is Globe Mortars while the lightning bolts are Warp Lightning Canons and the star is your lord
File:Warhammer_tercio_tutorial.png|Tericio tactics are a more in depth tactic with more moving parts which is marginally better than chevrons but a lot more fun. It is only effective on factions like Empire or Kislev whose ranged troops have decent speed, do not try this with Dwarfs. Consider replacing common artillery pieces like cannons with artillery units capable of some self defense, such as Little Grom. Doing so gives your backline melee infantry more flexibility as it does not need to stay quite so defensive
File:Warhammer_dwarf_box_tutorial.png|For defensive ranged races with slow units and a strong frontline like Dwarfs or Cathay, putting a box of units around your ranged units can make you very hard to break. Corner camping is considered one of the cheesiest and most overpowered tactics in the game for a very good reason, it will win you battles that you should not have won
File:Warhammer_pile_of_violence_tutorial.png|A lot of melee factions like Greenskins or Khorne can function quite effectively as a "pile of violence" or rush army that simply charges into melee and smashes gits
File:Warhammer_chaos_warriors_tutorial.jpg|As an alternative to just sending everything in one big blob, send you infantry and monsters in a blob while keeping your cavalry on your wings to charge in and then flank the enemy
File:Warhammer_bretonnia_tutorial.png|Some armies favor using powerful lords and heroes to deal large amounts of damage to the enemy while using other units as more of an anvil to the hero's hammer
File:Warhammer_mannlet_tutorial.png|Some armies such as Vampire Counts and Nurgle work better as a more defensive melee blob where you sit your lord inside your other infantry to have them blast spells at the enemy while healing their allies
File:Warhammer_vampire_tutorial.png|A blob army doesn't have to be defensive, factions such as Vampire Counts, Tomb Kings, Greenskins during WAAAGH! and Skaven are quite adept at simply swarming the field with giant blobs of units. This is best done when you handily outnumber the enemy, usually with either multiple armies present for the battle or with lots of summoning
File:Warhammer_tomb_kings_tutorial.png|By end game, most factions will have a doomstack army that they want to build, which features the most powerful units in that faction's roster buffed to the gills and then spammed. In this example, a Tomb Kings player might use a doomstack of Warsphinxes and Greatbow Ushabtis to simply rush the enemy and destroy them with very little tactics necessary
File:Vamp_coast_tutorial.jpg|Sometimes, nesting units inside other units can be a very effective strategy. Generally you want to do this with lords, heroes, monstrous infantry and war machines like Mortis Engines or Blood Shrines, but there are exceptions to this rule such as Vampire Coast Depth Guard or Warriors of Chaos Aspiring Champions. Putting higher tier units into lower tier units allows the lower tier units to soak damage while the higher tier units deal damage, and it allows squishier lords, heroes and war machines to buff their surrounding units while remaining relatively safe. When using this strategy, be wary of blobbing too much as you could get punished by spells and artillery.
